SAN ANTONIO - Iowa State has seen all this before and it never seems to end well for the Cyclones.

The Big 12 champion steamrolled into Sunday's third round of the NCAA tournament, just as it had in its last three appearances. The Cyclones are facing North Carolina, just as they did in 2005. And they will have to play without an injured starter, just as they did last year when they were eliminated by Ohio State on a buzzer-beater.
